23 Things I Learnt In My Twenties

It can be very difficult going through your twenties because you are becoming a young adult. It involves figuring out your likes and dislikes and navigating through the world with your identity. This can often result in mistakes. However, I realise not everyone’s twenties can be this way. Although, I must confess that mine are full of mistakes. I wish I could lie to you and say that I wouldn’t change it for the world because it has made me who I am. Yet, the truth is that I would totally change it. I would totally change the past but I cannot because it has already been written as a part of my history. Upon this reflection here are twenty three things I have learnt in my twenties.

I cannot change the past but I can manage the effects.
